• Hello.

    I’m brand new to www.remarpro.com, and I really haven’t got a clue what I’m doing, so please be kind, and explain things to me as if you were talking to a two-year-old. Thanks! ??

    First of all, how on earth do I get rid of the “Home” button in the header bar of my website: https://test.merteuil.com? It wasn’t there in the beginning, but I was messing around trying to create a navigation menu, and it suddenly appeared. There’s nothing under Appearance>Menus or under Customize>Menus, so there’s nothing to delete as far as I can tell.

    Secondly, how I do get a navigation menu to appear under the header bar, and not as part of it? I’ve googled to try to find an answer to this, and I think I have to change the php. I have no idea how to do this. Do I go to Appearance>Editor?

    In general, I’m not sure how to edit the code for my website? Do I need to do this via FTP with Bluehost (my hosting company), or am I supposed to be going to Appearances>Editor?

    Hi! Thanks for the reply.

    I’ve deactivated the plugin that showed the “under construction” message, so you should be able to see my website now.

    There really isn’t much to see, I’m afraid. I just started working on the site a few hours ago. I just want to get rid of that pesky “Home” button in the header bar.

    Also, it would be great if you could tell me how to go about editing the layout of my theme.

    if i understand correctly this is what you need
    add this to your style sheet

    #site-navigation{
    display: none;
    }

    HOW TO DO THIS
    1. click appearance on the left in your dashborad
    2. click editor
    3. copy and paste to the bottom of file
    4. save

    I can help you layout your your theme, what kind of stuff do you what to know?

    OH wait its this

    #site-navigation {
    display: none;
    }

    my bad ??

    Yay! That worked! Thanks!

    Thank you also for your kind offer to help me change the layout for my theme. My main question, first of all, is where am I supposed to change the code?

    I know that I can change it by going to Appearances>Editor, but apparently I can also change it by using Bluehost’s cPanel? But I’ve also read that I can change it by connecting a FTP account (e.g. FileZilla) to my hosting account???! I’m just really confused by all these options. What is the best way to go about changing the layout of my template?

    I do have some specific layout questions, too. If you look at the following website, which I believe is using the same WordPress theme (“Make”) – https://www.frogati.de/linguacanis/ – you’ll see that there is a bar of pink “padding” (sorry, that’s probably not the right term) above the main header bar. How would I go about adding a similar bar (not pink, though – black instead) above my own website’s header?

    Also, that same website has the navigational menu bar *under* the header bar. How can I make that happen on my website? When I try to add a nav menu, it ends up *in* the header bar, and this looks messy.

    Thanks in advance for all your help!

    if you are just changing css, using the editor in wordpress is ok. try not to ever change theme files from there unless you are very comfortable with code.

    i personally would recommend getting a text editor and downloading copies of your files via ftp. I prefer ftp. there are free ftp clients out there. using ftp allows you to keep a copy of the file you intend to edit and also will give you access to the files of your wordpress if you ever mess up on an edit and get that dreaded white screen of death that won’t let you log in.

    ftp – filezilla
    text editor – sublimetext or notepad++

    if you just want a black strip across the top merely for looks use this:

    #site-header {
        border-top: 60px solid #000;
    }

    if you want a black bar across the top and plan to put things in it, then you may have to add some code to your header.php file.

    Excellent! Thanks so much for your help! Much appreciated. I was able to add a black strip across the top of my header bar. And, no, I don’t plan on putting anything in it. I just wanted a black strip.

    Any idea on how to make a nav menu go *under* the header bar? I’ve erased the menu I had before, but when it was still there, it was *in* the header bar, and I don’t want that.
